Just as we surrender our life wholly to God, we also surrender our physical bodies. We no longer use it for our own purpose, whether to abuse it with unhealthy food, lack of exercise, drugs or whether to idolize it with pleasure, fashion, skinny/fat etc. Lately, the theme that God is speaking to me is the surrendering of Talk.
Our speech is of great power and a huge responsibility. It is also something to surrendering and be redeemed for His purpose and glory, rather than ours. We use words as weapons, as oppose to building. We withdraw words when we should be speaking. We casually pick vocabularies when we should be relying on the Spirit to have God’s words placed on our lips. We use our words to dilute God’s truth, or sometime even misrepresents.
Words are quite powerful. In the beginning, God spoke the universe into motion.
So here I am wanting God to redeem my talk, and redeem the tongues that I’ve neglected to keep up and perfect. I believe He will reactivate them.
Things look so different when we just stop for a moment and ask what God wants us to do in that situation and then we speak. Be mindful about every time when we open our mouth.
